develops us into well-rounded people. We
engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and
differing points of view. By
contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a
difference in the lives of women.

Friendship
is what binds us to each other and to our Fraternity. The friendships we develop in Chi Omega give
us a home across geography and generations and give us lasting support
throughout our lives.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members.

Collection for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Mid-South!Please help support our national philanthropy by bringing a donation for their Wish Closet to a future meeting. View the Make A Wish Closet Needs 2011.doc to see a list of the current needs.

It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 260,000 women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship - striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.

Career and PersonalDevelopment prepares us for
life’s work and makes us marketable regardless of the path we choose. Sisters serve as mentors and coaches along
the way. Chi Omega promotes personal
growth and teaches us to work earnestly at whatever we choose to do.

The Kappa Beta Chapter at Rhodes College is interested in organizing an Alumnae Career Panel that can speak on "turning a major into a profession" and any general career advice. Are you interested in participating or do you know of a fellow Chi O Alum that would be willing to speak? If so, please contact Rebecca Wade, Kappa Beta Alumnae Relations Advisor (rjwade901@gmail.com).

Chi Omega is FUN! Every year, over 5,000 young women across America
join the largest women’s fraternity in the world for sisterhood and lifelong
friendships.

After a fun and successful 2012 Recruitment, the Sisters of Kappa Beta are excited to announce the addition of 50 new members into their house.A HUGE Thank You to all the alums that donated time, money and snacks for Recruitment!

Sincere Learning and
Creditable Scholarship means that we care about our intellectual
development. We embrace the spirit and
excitement of learning throughout our lives and encourage others to better
themselves.

Community Service means that we want to make a difference on our campuses and in our
communities. We know that giving back to
others unselfishly makes the world a better place and makes us better
people. Serving and giving helps to
connect us.

The Chi Omega Symphony has
reflected the purposes of Chi Omega members since its composition in 1904 by
Ethel Switzer Howard on the eve of her initiation into the Xi Chapter of Chi
Omega at Northwestern
University.
